I asked about money thinking they may be a scammer. It sounds like they are just a person who is way too demanding you give them constant emotional support, and this is unhealthy enough in itself. On top of that, this is taking an emotional toll on you, causing harm to your mental health.

My therapist told me boundaries are for YOU. It doesn’t matter if the other person respects them, it is for you to enforce them. It can be a very hard thing to do. I’ve had to do it with the most difficult of people who don’t respect me and now don’t like me anymore because I enforced my boundaries. We need to do it for our own health and must protect ourselves.
